Thomas Craven came to San
Antonio last week a<id told an
Open Forum, audience that his pur-
pose was to arouse people to an
appreciation of art so that they
would buy what artists here had
to sell and so that artists would
paint the life around them in then-
own way.
An art of the people, is what Mr.
Craven believes in. Not, as he
points out in his book, Modern Art,
an art of the few, where after a
man becomes a millionaire he buys
up an artist, takes his works and
puts them in a luxurious room, calls
it a public meseum to escape tax-
ation, keeps it padlocked so the
hoi polloi can’t get in, and then
controls the artist.
Mr. Craven panned the artists
who go to France and who come
back disliking America; he panned
the art teachers who, he said, ruin
future artists by making them
paint as they learned to paint in
some school: he panned Coppini
and to a lesser extent Borglum,
San Antonio’s famous sculptors;
he panned art that imitated; and
he panned the French Surrealists,
Imagists, and so on.

Bringing to J. C. for the first
time an old Spanish Christmas cus-
tom, El Club Cervantez is present-
ing for the enjoyment of the stu-
dents and faculty a “Nacimiento”
or “Birth Scene”, which will be
placed in the library. The “Naci-
miento” consists of the scene of
the birth of Our Lord, that is, the
stable wherein Mary and Joseph
were forced to spend that night,
with the magi, the shepherds and
the animals who completed the
scene included. Also represented
is a miniature town of Bethlehem
with its hills and its shepherds,
its tiny animals, and its many
dwellings wherein the holy family
was for nine consecutive nights
refused lodging.
The commemoration of these nine
pilgramages made in search of lodg-
ing, called “Posadas” which was
originally a Spanish custom, has
now come to be chiefly Mexican;
and although the old custom of
having a Nacimiento in every home
is quickly disappearing, many fam-
ilies, especially those which include
small children, still feel that the
Christmas season is not properly
celebrated unless a “Nacimiento”
is erected in the home.

there will be confetti, baloons,
whistles, horns and other articles
of merry making. This will be a
dance that will be long remembered
by all who attend. ’ If you really
want to have a good time this New
Years take your date to the De
Molay dance.
The music for the swinging will
be furnished by none other than
Johnny Fielder. This orchestra is

Olmos Dinner Club.
Dancing will begin at ten and
continue until the wee small hours
of the New Year.
Miss Genevieve Gray has been
chosen to act as honoree from Jun-
ior College. The De Molays could
not have found a better" represen-
tative of our school.

A new organization makes its
appearance this week in the form
of a Junior College branch of the
American Student Union. The first
open meeting will be held in room
3 tomorrow at 12 o’clock, at which
time the platform of the Union
will be explained, a tentative pro-
gram for the club worked out, and
a committee appointed to draw up
a constitution.
The ASU is open to everybody
who agrees with any or all of its
program. Those who have not been
invited to join any other organiza-
tion, as well as those who already
belong to other clubs are invited
to attend the first meeting Satur-
day.
According to student initiators of
the ASU the general purpose of
the organization is to bring to-
gether students in order that they
might act on matters affecting the
school as well as on questions of
interest to themselves, the student
body generally.
The national platform of the
organization declares itself for a
genuine peace program in cooper-
ation with all campus groups de-
sirous of creating a peaceful world;
it declares itself for an extension
of federal aid to students in order
that the American ideal of equal
educational opportunities might be
realized for those who wish to ob-
tain a better education; it declares
itself for the right of students and
faculty members to express them-
selves freely on controversial ques-
tions, as guaranteed by the consti-
tution; and it stands for equal ed-
ucational rights regardless of race,
religion, or creed.
Initiators of the ASU have an-
nounced that the club will start a
series of musical appreciation pro-
grams, a poetry contest, and
student book exchange in the very
near future. It is planned to co-
operate with other organizations in
the improvement of the Junior
College and to act on questions in-
volving the needs of the student
body, such as attempting to ob-
. tain a repeal of the ^tate law not
allowing students to ride busses
for half fare. It is also planned to
secure outside speakers on current
topics, such as Dr. Montgomery of
the University of Texas and Edwin
Elliott, former professor at Texas
Christian University, at present
serving with the Regional Labor
Board, and who has recently en-
dorsed the ASU.
Approval of this organization in
J. C. is still under advisement by
the authorities of the college.
